Thousands of people were killed by artillery and infantry weapons in hours of shooting. - Long Hung Church: This church in Quang Tri, Vietnam fell victim to 8 continuous days of bombings by South Vietnamese and American troops during the Vietnam War. The church has remained untouched and basically remains as it was immediately after the bombings occurred.which was a battlefield in 1972 between North and South Vietnam for 81 days and nights. Quang Tri Ancient Citadel: is seen as an eye-witness of fierce battles during the anti-American resistance war in 1972.

Nowadays, the citadel becomes a place to mark immortal victories of the Vietnamese army and people and to educate youths about the nation’s revolutionary tradition and its patriotism. - Doc Mieu Base: There's basically nothing left of this old American base save a rusting tank and a sign.

An excellent trip. Our guide, Thuy (? Not sure if i've spelled it correctly!) was very knowledgable and explained a lot about the war in Vietnam. The supporting maps were helpful in understanding. I was a teenager at the time of the war & as the UK was not involved in this, most of what we heard was from the American perspective, so it was very interesting hearing about it from the Vietnamese perspective. Crossing the bridge in the DMZ was a n interesting experience. The complex of tunnels was amazing it was so huge & difficult to imagine how a group of villagers could create such a thing. The car was very comfortable & the driver very good. Many thanks, also, for the thoughtful packed lunch & souvenier water bottles.
Fascinating trip with a knowledgeable guide

Really interesting trip - Mr Loc was a great guide with lots of information about the DMZ and the Vietnam war. The Vinh Moc tunnels were good to experience despite the heat and the minibus was very comfortable.

Our guide, Mr. Loc was a southern Vietnamese war veteran who gave us a unique perspective on the later years of the war between the south and north. He was friendly and well informed. Mr. Loc gave us the best tour possible of the Vinh Moc tunnels and other points of interest. He ensured we were well ahead of the crowds. His driver drove safely and ensured our comfort. A small lunch and bottle of water was provided.
A excellent into into the DMZ and it’s rôle in the conflict.

Prompt organised pick up and return smooth driving and logical progression of your north. 3 main sites fort bridge then tunnels. Able to get good sense of the background to each site why battles were fought why tunnels were built. The conditions the Vietnamese lived through were horrendous and they seem remarkably forgiving of the war being waged on them. The guide was helpful and of a high enough English standard for it not to be a barrier. The tunnels were small my son is 1.94m so just managed through. A million moved South across a single pedestrian bridge (and 250k North) in 3 months.
